HMRC exemption certificate for VAT - Turnover under the threshold

Hello,

 

I am asked by eBay UK for a "VAT exemption certificate" provided by HMRC.

 

My buisiness is under the VAT threshold, and I do not need a to be VAT registred, and I am not applying for it volontarily as there is no point for me.

 

Then, I am a business seller, but with no obligation of VAT or to provide VAT number to eBay. Like many other sellers.

 

My question are :

 

- Is someone else been asked that very same document, when you dont have / need a VAT number, to prove to eBay you are not subject to VAT obligation ?

 

- For what i researched, HMRC do not provide such "certificate" or letter for pople on that situation; how did you solved the problem to eBay and proved to them you were not under VAT obligation ?

 

Hope I have been clear enough explaining, all insights are welcolme.

 

Just repharisng : Is that document actually exists for that situation, if not, how sellers that have been asked one solved their problem with eBay UK.

 

Thanks for your help.

Yes, we have seen this before.

 

eBay are asking for something that HMRC do not provide. 

 

Perhaps marco@ebay or dave@ebay can help here.
